Sometimes Life is Quite a Bit Like Juggling
Juggle Balls
How?
* Don't undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different that each of us is special.
* Don't set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you know what is best for you.
* Don't take for granted the things closest to your heart. Cling to them as you would your life, for without them, life is meaningless.
* Don't let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future. By living your life one day at a time, you live ALL the days of your life.
* Don't give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.
* Don't be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect. It is this fragile thread that binds us each together.
* Don't be afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.
* Don't shut love out of your life by saying it's impossible to find. The quickest way to receive love is to give; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; and the best way to keep love is to give it wings.
* Don't run through life so fast that you forget not only where you've been, but also where you are going.
* Don't forget that a person's greatest emotional need is to feel appreciated.
*Don't be afraid to learn. Knowledge is weightless, a treasure you can always carry easily.
* Don't use time or words carelessly. Neither can be retrieved. Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way.

Time
It is Time.
Time is running out.
It is about Time!
You're forgiven, this Time.
What Time is it?
Another Time, please.
Come over someTime.
Time is short.
They have been through some rough Times.
I had Time on my hands.
It is Time to get up.
Paid double-Time.
It is closing Time....
He knew his Time had come.
Time out.
Time is money.
All in good Time.
For ole' Times sake.
Time will tell.
Living on borrowed Time.
Have the Time of your life.
Once upon a Time.......
And the list goes on and on.
This element called Time, is measured in clocks and calendars.
The past, present, and future is a continuous whole.
In physics, a quantity measuring duration, measured with reference to the rotation of the earth or from the vibrations of certain atoms.
Any way you look at it....TIME IS IMPORTANT! TIME IS VITAL!
Psychologists assert that time seems to go faster with age, but the literature on this age-related perception of time remains controversial.
As an example, one day to an eleven-year-old person would be approximately 1/4,000 of their life, while one day to a 55-year-old would be approximately 1/20,000 of their life.
According to such an interpretation, a day would appear much longer to a young child than to an adult, even though the measure of time is the same.
In Ecclesiastes in the Bible it says this:
~ THERE IS A TIME FOR EVERYTHING ~
There’s a season for everything
and a time for every matter
under the heavens:
a time for giving birth
and a time for dying,
a time for planting and a time for uprooting what was planted,
a time for killing and a time for healing,
a time for tearing down
and a time for building up,
a time for crying and a time for laughing,
a time for mourning
and a time for dancing,
a time for throwing stones
and a time for gathering stones,
a time for embracing
and a time for avoiding embraces,
a time for searching
and a time for losing,
a time for keeping
and a time for throwing away,
a time for tearing
and a time for repairing,
a time for keeping silent
and a time for speaking,
a time for loving and a time for hating,
a time for war and a time for peace.
~Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 CEB~
Knowing all of this makes me go back to the 'Author of Time' Himself.....
One who holds all time in His Hands and is the One qualified to use the term.....ETERNITY!
Eternity is a.........TIMELESS EXISTENCE.
TIME WITHOUT END!

Matt, Pops and Chuck aka: Pipo, early morn prepare for 'hard labor'....
Kevin and JC are on the way...with equipment and muscles...
Laying new sod, rebuilding Tiki Hut and laying mulch, is the plan...
All are more than willing to help Pops catch up on his lost home maintenance time during his recent illness. We received the gift of time, energy, and love from our 'youngens'...
They certainly worked up an appetite too!
Chuck IV aka: Turk and Kason are ready....
Kevin does it first-class....ALWAYS!
Pops had to get involved...
"Yep, they are doing it right," says MaMa
Matt is doing what his Dad did many years ago on the original Tiki Hut...even had a bee sting yesterday and his Dad, Rich, had an angry scorpion bite 20+ years ago...
Yep, she distracted him :) or was it the other way around?
Good job guys...still needs a little more 'roofing' but Pops can handle it now....
Love in action...Kevin & Carla do mulching in courtyard...
Congratulations guys on your new house/home.
They just moved in on Friday but took today off to help Pops leaving their own work undone
God bless you all dear ones....
Britt gets walk way mulching duty...
Cousin Carla says, "I'll help so we can talk"...
Sons, Dylan and Kason, clown around trying to 'get out of work'....
Chuck IV, Turkey, inspects lobsters and thinks they are 'ugly'....
Baby Sebastian Aaron aka 'SeaBass' and Aunt Carla...he is such a happy baby...
Dylan (6) & Kason(5) take a break from the 'hard work of having fun' and swimming...
......and clowning around mostly.
We celebrated their birthday as well since they both have birthdays this week.

Thank God for Family and yes, it is true...
God blesses those who...blesses others...
Family is a Blessing and Psalm 128 has been read over our family at Christmas for years and years...
True on Labor Day...Psalm 128 below...
"Everyone who honors the LORD,
who walks in God’s ways,
is truly happy!
You will definitely enjoy
what you’ve worked hard for—
you’ll be happy;
and things will go well for you.
In your house, your wife will be
like a vine full of fruit.
All around your table,
your children will be like olive trees,
freshly planted.
That’s how it goes for anyone
who honors the LORD:
they will be blessed!
May the LORD bless you continuously. .
May you experience God's goodness your whole life long.
And may you see your grandchildren/ and great~grands as well,
Oh, how He blesses the one who revers God!
Enjoy the good life ~every day of your life.Peace to all....Peace be to Israel!"
(Psalms 128:1-6 CEB (and MSG)
